The performances are free and the public is invited.

* The Christchurch School English Department has purchased four new computers to establish a Christchurch School Writing Center.

Ken McCracken, chairman of the English department, said the center will serve a useful purpose to students as they prepare research papers and other assignments.

Students will go to the center after classes to write their papers, use available software to improve their writing and receive writing instruction from teachers and fellow students, McCracken said.

In addition, the computers will be used by journalism students for their word processing, to produce a newspaper, to generate ideas for writing and to improve their writing, he said.

The new computers are compatible with the 13 personal computers in the school's computer laboratory where students are enrolled in introduction to computers, computer programming and Pascal classes.

* The Department of Instruction for the Gloucester County Public Schools is receiving applications from volunteers who would like to serve on the advisory committee for the Family Life Education Program.

Applicants, who should be parents of students in the public school system, will serve for two years.

To apply, send a letter indicating interest in the committee and a letter of reference to Nina E. Buzby, Gloucester County Public Schools, Rt. 5 Box 243, Gloucester 23061.
